2 Timote 1
1 Paul yon apot a Kris Jésus pa volonte Bondye, selon pwomès lavi ki nan Kris Jésus,
Paul, an apostle of Meshikha Yeshua through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Meshikha Yeshua,
2 a Timothée fis byeneme mwen an: Lagras, mizerikòd, ak lapè Bondye, Papa a, e Kris Jésus, Senyè nou an.
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Meshikha Yeshua our Lord.
3 Mwen remèsye Bondye ke mwen sèvi avèk yon bon konsyans jan zansèt mwen yo te fè a, pandan mwen sonje ou tout tan nan lapriyè mwen yo lannwit kon lajounen
I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 avèk lanvi pou m wè ou menm lè mwen sonje dlo ki te sòti nan zye ou, pou m kapab ranpli avèk jwa.
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 Paske mwen sonje lafwa sensè ki nan ou a, ki te dabò rete nan grann ou, Lois ak manman ou, Eunice, e mwen byen si ke li nan ou tou.
having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Euniki, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Pou rezon sa a, mwen fè ou sonje pou rechofe don Bondye ki nan ou depi mwen te poze menm sou ou a.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Paske Bondye pa bannou yon lespri timidite, men pouvwa, lanmou ak disiplin.
For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.
8 Konsa pa fè wont de temwayaj Senyè nou an, ni mwen menm nan, prizonye Li a, men vin jwenn ansanm avè m nan soufrans pou levanjil la selon pouvwa Bondye a,
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9 ki te sove nou e te rele nou avèk yon apèl ki sen, pa selon zèv nou yo, men selon pwòp bi ak gras pa L, ki te bay a nou menm nan Kris Jésus depi tout letènite, (aiōnios g166)
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Meshikha Yeshua before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 men koulye a, ki vin revele pa aparans a Sovè nou an, Kris Jésus, ki te aboli lanmò e te pote lavi ak imòtalite nan limyè, atravè levanjil la.
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Meshikha Yeshua, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 Pou li menm, mwen te chwazi kòm predikatè, apot, ak pwofesè pou ale vè etranje yo.
For this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12 Pou rezon sa a, mwen osi soufri bagay sa yo, men mwen pa wont; paske mwen konnen nan kilès mwen kwè a, e mwen konvenk ke Li kapab pwoteje sa ke m livre a Li menm nan jiska jou sa a.
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Kenbe fèm a pawòl sen ke ou tande de mwen yo, nan lafwa ak lanmou ki nan Kris Jésus a.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Meshikha Yeshua.
14 Veye byen, selon lespri Sen ki demere nan nou an, trezò kite konfye a ou a.
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Rukha d'Qudsha who dwells in us.
15 Ou byen okouran ke tout moun ki an Asie yo, te vire kite m, pami yo menm, Phygelle ak Hermogène.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Ke Senyè a bay mizerikòd a lakay Onésiphore, paske Li te souvan konsole m, e li pa t wont pou chenn mwen yo;
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 men lè li te Rome, li te chèche mwen avèk dilijans e li te jwenn mwen.
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 Ke Senyè a fè li jwenn mizerikòd Senyè a nan jou sa a—e ke ou konnen trè byen tout sèvis li te rann nan Éphèse.
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
